McMurry Makes Statement, Drop UAFS in Five Sets

McMurry University fought past the University of Arkansas-Forth Smith 3-2 (25-19, 25-20, 16-25, 21-25 and 15-7) in a five-set thriller that would make Hollywood jealous.

"I couldn't have asked from a better day and it was absolutely exciting," McM head volleyball coach said following the match. "We need to work hard every point and I told the girls that every point counts and they took that to heart. The girls did what I know they're capable of doing and I'm excited for them."

The War Hawks soared out of the gates and emphatically won sets one and two and gained momentum.

"This is just a really good group," Evans said. "The reason we won is because we trust each other and communicate well. We'll enjoy this as a team as use this win as a spring board for the rest of our season."
